THE WEATHER.
RAIN AT BLENHEIM. Press Association. Blenheim, March 4. Five hours soaking drizzle has fallen with a prospect of more. The absence of wind makes the rainfall much more valuable. It is expected rape and turnip seed and grass v. ill quickly respond to the rain, the ground being warm. Prospects of winter feed are therefore fairly good. NELSON REJOICING. Nelson, March 4. Soaking rain set in last night and continues. Over an inch has fallen since yesterday. Wanganui, March 4. A heavy rainfall has been experienced over all the Wanganui river watershed, with the result that the water has risen two feet at Pipiriki, thus putting an end to the difficulties experienced in the navigation of the upper reaches owing to low water in the river.
